publish the news o f the death
from heart failure o f Fletcher

stepson o f O. Colpitt, who was
called by the grim reaper Sun­
day morning at 10 o ’clock. The
young man had just successfully
passed the eighth grade ex­
aminations of the Forest Grove
public schools, and was prepar­
ing to enter into the vast game
o f life in real earnest when the
call to the great Beyond so un­
expectedly came.
Rev. Hiram
Gould conducted the services at
the residence on the Thatcher
road, Tuesday, and interment

tery. A mother, four brothers
and one sister, survive. Many
friends and acquaintances also
mourn for the departed.
